 AN ACT to amend the public service law, in relation to limiting
 increases in the amount of surcharges established by the public
 service commission, imposing a one year moratorium on the collection
 of certain surcharges, and prohibiting new energy taxes and fees; and
 to repeal certain provisions of such law relating thereto

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. This act shall be known and may be cited as the "Energy
 2 assessment cap and consumer cost relief act of 2026".
 3 § 2. The public service law is amended by adding a new section 18 to
 4 read as follows:
 5 § 18. Moratorium on surcharges. The commission shall not impose or
 6 collect any surcharges associated with the system benefit charge, or the
 7 renewable portfolio standard, or the energy efficiency portfolio stand-
 8 ard, or any similar fund that may be created by order of the commission
 9 before the effective date of this section, whether such fund is new or
 10 is a result of combining all or some of the surcharges referenced here-
 11 in.
 12 § 3. Section 18 of the public service law is REPEALED and a new
 13 section 18 is added to read as follows:
 14 § 18. Limit on surcharge increases. Notwithstanding any law, rule,
 15 regulation or order to the contrary, the commission shall not increase
 16 the amount of the surcharge of the system benefit charge or the
 17 surcharge for the renewable portfolio standard or the surcharge for the
 18 energy efficiency portfolio standard or any similar fund that may be
 19 created by order of the commission before the effective date of this
 20 section, whether such fund is new or is a result of combining all or
 21 some of the surcharges referenced herein. Nothing in this section shall
 22 be construed as to prevent the commission from lowering the amount of
 23 any surcharge either individually or collectively from the amount
 24 collected in two thousand twenty-five, except that under no circum-

 EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
 [ ] is old law to be omitted.

 3 § 4. Moratorium on new energy taxes and fees. Notwithstanding any law,
 4 rule, regulation or order to the contrary, the public service commission
 5 shall not establish any new surcharge assessment, tax or fee on energy
 6 consumers, excepting those fees which may arise from an electric gener-
 7 ating facility that provides notice of closure to such commission and
 8 where a reliability need is identified by the bulk system operator.
